We will review and may conduct further intermittent reviews of your Mint Merchant Account(s) information to determine that you are eligible to use the Mint Services. Mint's use of the information you provide to us under this Agreement is described in more detail in Section 4.

(b) Direct Debit Request Service Agreement:  the terms and conditions which explain what your obligations are when undertaking a direct debit arrangement with us and what our obligations are to you as your direct debit provider are set out in the Mint Commercial Proposal you agreed to and are incorporated into this Agreement.

3. Processing Transactions, Disputes

(a) Authorisation and submission of Charges: You must institute fraud control measures in your business to ensure that only transactions and Charges authorised by your Customers are submitted through the Mint Services. By using the Mint Services, you: (i) authorise and direct Mint through its Payment Service Providers to receive and pay funds owed to you; and (ii) appoint Mint as your agent for the sole purpose of providing the Mint Services to you. You must not, other than as required by the Payment Services Terms (each as defined below), grant or assign to any third party any lien on or interest in funds that may be owed to you under this Agreement until the funds are deposited into your Mint Merchant Account(s).

(b) Direct relationship with Customers: You are solely responsible for managing your direct relationship with Customers, including but not limited to: (i) acquiring valid consent to submit Charges through the Mint Services on their behalf; (ii) providing appropriate confirmation or receipts to Customers for each Charge; (iii) verifying Customers' identities; and (iv) determining a Customer's eligibility and authority to complete Transactions.

(c) Liability for Disputes, chargebacks and related losses: Mint is not responsible for or liable to you or any third party for authorised and completed Charges that are later the subject of a Dispute, Refund, Reversal or chargeback, are submitted without authorisation or in error, or violate any Laws. You are solely and immediately responsible to us for all Disputes, Refunds, Reversals, Returns, or Fines regardless of the reason or timing, including but not limited to: (i) fraudulent transactions; (ii) non-delivery of goods or services; (iii) duplicate charges; or (iv) customer dissatisfaction unless a claim is expressly covered under the Mint Protect service described in Schedule 4.

(d) Obligations in event of Dispute: If a Dispute or other issue contemplated under Section 3.3(c) arises, you must within 14 days of receiving notice of the Dispute or chargeback: (i) respond to the Dispute; (ii) provide complete and timely supporting evidence (e.g. customer communications, proof of delivery, or refund); (iii) cooperate with Mint and any Payment Service Providers in the chargeback process; and (iv) where applicable, refund Customers directly if goods or services are not delivered. Failure to comply with these obligations may result in loss of eligibility for dispute support, imposition of additional charges, or suspension or termination of your access to the Mint Services, in the sole discretion of Mint, acting reasonably.

(e) Challenging a Dispute: You may have the ability to challenge a Dispute by submitting evidence through the Mint Payments Portal or to us directly. We may request additional information to provide to Payment Service Providers to assist you in contesting the Dispute. Payment Service Providers may deny your challenge for any reason they deem appropriate. Where a challenge is entirely or partially successful, a Payment Service Provider may credit funds associated with the Charge that is the subject of the Dispute (or a portion thereof) to your Mint Merchant Account or to us.

(f) Fraud Liability and 3D Secure: Mint offers 3D Secure (3DS) as an optional security feature. If you do not request activation of 3DS at onboarding or at a later date via written instruction and receive written confirmation from Mint that 3DS has been enabled on your account, you acknowledge and accept full liability for any fraud-related chargebacks that might otherwise have been prevented by 3DS. Mint is not responsible for any failure to enable or support 3DS where: (i) it has not been requested by you; (ii) your systems, platforms, or integrations are incompatible with 3DS; or (iii) issues arise that are outside of Mint's control. You acknowledge and accept that, without 3DS enabled, you are solely liable for all fraud-related chargebacks that 3DS could have mitigated, and you waive any claim against Mint in respect of such losses.

(g) Reversals: Mint or a Payment Services Provider may issue a Reversal for any Charge where: (i) a Charge is made without the account owner's authorisation; (ii) the transaction breaches Network Rules or relates to a Restricted Business; or (iii) any other risk or compliance concerns arise. If Mint or a Payment Service Provider issue a Reversal, Mint or the Payment Services Provider will notify you of the Reversal and its cause.

(h) Dishonours and settled Transactions: You acknowledge that in the event an account or transaction is dishonoured, rejected or overdrawn after Mint has settled a Transaction, Mint will: (i) recoup all settled funds; and (ii) notify you of all dishonours, rejections, overdraws, and reversals.

(i) Mint's Role in Disputes: You acknowledge that Mint's role in any Dispute is to act as a conduit for information between you, the Payment Service Provider, and the relevant payment networks. The final determination of the outcome of a Dispute (including a chargeback) is made solely by the relevant Payment Service Provider, card scheme (e.g., Visa, Mastercard), and/or the Customer's financial institution in accordance with their established rules and procedures. Mint does not adjudicate or decide the outcome of any Dispute.

(j) Complaint Handling: For complaints, please contact us at complaints@mintpayments.com. Specific complaint handling procedures, including rights to escalate unresolved complaints to external dispute resolution schemes (such as an Ombudsman), are set out in the applicable Jurisdictional Addendum.

4. Responsibilities and Disclosures to Your Customers

(a) When using the Mint Services you agree to: (i) accurately communicate, and not misrepresent, the nature of the Transaction, and the amount of the Charge in the appropriate currency prior to submitting it to the Mint Payments Portal; (ii) provide a receipt that accurately describes each Transaction to Customers; (iii) provide Customers a meaningful way to contact you in the event that the product or service is not provided as described; (iv) not use the Mint Services to sell products or services in a manner that is unfair or deceptive, exposes Customers to unreasonable risks, or does not disclose material terms of a purchase in advance; and (v) inform Customers that Mint and its global affiliates process Transactions (including payment Transactions) for you. You also agree to maintain a fair return, refund, cancellation, or adjustment policy, and clearly explain the process by which Customers can receive a Refund.

Additionally, a Payment Service Provider may enforce the terms of this Agreement directly against you with respect to that provider’s payment method(s).

(b) We may add or remove Payment Service Providers or payment methods at any time. The Payment Service Terms may also be amended from time to time. Your continuing use of the Mint Services constitutes your consent and agreement to such additions, removals and amendments.

(c) You authorise us to designate which Payment Services Providers may hold settlement funds, on deposit and in trust, pending transfer of funds to you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A clearing account through which funds are settled may be maintained by a Payment Service Provider, and transfers to you from this account will be a full and final payment to you.

(a) Mint accepts the payment methods outlined in Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule 3, Schedule 4, and Schedule 5.

(b) You acknowledge that the payment methods outlined in Schedule 2, Schedule 3, Schedule 4, and Schedule 5 are opt-in products.

(b) Collection Rights: You agree to pay all amounts owed by you to us and to our affiliates on demand. Where possible, we will first attempt to debit the relevant Mint Merchant Account under the Mint Payments DDR. However, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement from any of your Mint Merchant Accounts through a Mint Payments DDR. Your failure to pay amounts owed to us or to our affiliates by you under this Agreement is a breach and you will be liable for any costs we incur during collection in addition to the amount you owe. Collection costs may include, legal fees and expenses, costs of any successful expert determination or court proceeding, collection agency fees, any applicable interest, and any other related cost.

(c) In certain circumstances, we may require a personal, parent or other guarantee, or agreement that certain funds be held as security for the performance of your obligations under this Agreement (each a Guarantee) from a user’s principal, owner, or other guarantor. A Guarantee may consist of a legally binding promise by an individual or an entity to pay any amounts the user owes in the event that the user is unable to pay. If we require you to provide us with a Guarantee, we will specifically inform you of the amount of, and the reasons for the Guarantee. If you are unable to provide such a Guarantee when required, you will not be permitted to use the Services.

8. Reconciliation and Error Notification

(a) The Mint Payments Portal contains details of Charges, Charge history, and other activity on your Mint Merchant Account(s). Except as required by Law, you are solely responsible for reconciling the information in the Mint Payments Portal generated by your use of Mint Services with your records of Customer Transactions, and for identifying any Transaction errors. You agree to review your Mint Merchant Account(s) on a regular basis and immediately notify us of any errors. We will investigate any reported errors, including any errors made by Mint or the Payment Services Providers, and attempt to rectify them in the Mint Payments Portal if possible. Your chance of recovering funds you have lost due to a Transaction error will be very limited if we did not cause the error, or if funds are no longer available in any Recipient Account. We will work with you and the Payment Services Providers to correct a Transaction error in accordance with Network Rules.
